Beauty shot

c & c appreciated

Very nice job! I think the white thing on her lower lip needs to go. I find the eye makeup being very dark in just the corners a bit strange. Good job on the lighting and comp, Jeff

I agree that the flash reflection on her left side lip needs to go. It has many great ingredients - incredible angle, pretty model, good composition. But it seems to be a little less than it could be, maybe the lighting's somewhat flat?.. hard to say. Eyes could be a tad sharper also, and maybe the upper part of her lip could be better defined so to separate from the skin above. Play around in PP some more, add a little more contrast (?) and see what you get.

I agree with the reflection, but the rest of the picture looks great. What lights are you using?

Different sort of processing for you - almost looks like a 3-d rendering. She looks like a doll.

Everyone else has already touched on what I would fix.

Great as always.

This is a fine work, Phil. I like the soft light and the natural feel of it although there is still that contrasty rendering as Seth mentioned. All comes together very nicely. I agree about the reflection on the lower lip, but if you left it it would not take anything away from this. Good tight crop works.
What I like is that you did not over whiten the eyes or over sharpen them, looks natural.
One of the better shots I've seen from you but you have been putting out some very nice work .

I only use alien bees strobes.

Gorgeous, but I do agree with culling the hot spot on the lip.
